Stuck with Wireless, still Need Fast Internet

Monday, August 10th, 2009

So anyone, as it turns out I may need to switch out my ethernet connection with a wireless one. Problem is, the antenna that comes with my old wireless adapter isn’t terribly reliable. I asked around, and it turns out I’m not alone. Most everyone with wireless Internet wants to boost their signal strength and have a fast connection. Even if the PC says the connection is good, there are still plenty of packets of information floating around in the air. After a little digging, I’ve found a small DIY project that I bet even my mom could do. It’s called the cantenna-

All it takes is a can, some bolts, copper wire, and the proper connectors. If this project turns out well, I’ll post it step by step with instructions as easy as baking pie (actually, I hope it’s easier than that- I’m terrible at cooking!).
